]]>Podcasting has been around for a long time and yet it's still rapidly changing, these two points make for a high probability of outdated advice. Today we're running down a few key pieces of podcast advice that we still see shared today, that we think should stick in the past. In this week's Better Podcasting Download we're going to talk about an Android podcast player... that really isn't that new. Finally, in Better Podback we got a message from a listener on a way to get all of your Clammrs.

The crew have some considerations for you if you're looking at how to promote your show in 2017 including appearances, website changes, patreon and a few others.

]]>01:04:18clean45fullBetter Podcasting - Episode 044 - We've Been HackedWed, 07 Sep 2016 00:01:00 +0000We kick off the show this week discussing the details of being a victim of a security hack/compromise and the resulting annoyance that followed suit. If you run a website or self-host, we've got some advice on how you can keep yourself safe and prepared.

There's a jam-packed Better Podcasting Download(s) section where we discuss PowerPress's recent article about podcasting downloads vs streams and how you can make sure to best capture your audience. Other topics include how Texas A&M is partnering with DMR/Interactive to launch a podcast and how similarly Adweek.com has determined whether or not celebrities have a leg up in the world of podcasting. For our final download, we give you an update on the podcast documentary titled The Messengers.

This week we're pleased to present our first fan-submitted "How I saved My Podcast" story discussing how one listener went to the extreme of ADR to help correct and interview. Finally, in our Better Podback we discuss how a cable change solved one listeners problem (and how TRS/TS are not the same as Balanced/Unbalanced).

]]>So you've got Step 1 complete - you're now having fun with your hosts. Today we'll talk about Step 2, which making sure you have fun with your listenership. We'll run down some points which will hopefully help you reflect on your show and think about whether or not you can help your audience have more fun.

In this week's episode we have a jam-packed Better Podcasting Download section. First up, we'll discuss a new podcast-related startup called a Podcast Garage. Get ready to choose between mommy and daddy as Stephen and SP are on opposite sides for this one. Next, we'll give you some information that you may want to know about BEFORE updating to the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition if you do a video podcast. Rounding off the download, Stephen and SP will discuss the recent news (as in the same that they recorded the show) that Blab.im has shut it's door (for now?).

Wrapping up the show, in Better Podback, we'll discuss a recent question about our image art/branding.

Yep, it's finally here... 28 episodes later we finally decide tackle the question "What is a hobby podcaster?" Spoiler alert - there's no clear cut explanation to this term, but we will run down some areas which we think may make you a hobby podcaster.

In the Better Podcasting Download this week, we provide an update on two service - Clammr and Blab. In our opinion one of them is improving while the other is becoming less reliable. Which are we using more and which are we drifting away from? Take a listen to find out.

Finally, in the Better Podback (feedback) we tackle a question about expanding the Zoom H5 for live recording and also a question about how we produce the video companion of Better Podcasting.

Finally, in the Better Podback (feedback) we round up a whole bunch of topics with questions including microphone etiquette, guest audio capture, generic microphone scissor arms, migrating from a PowerPress feed to a media host feed and several other questions.

After panel completion we felt that there was so much valuable questions and answers asked that would be applicable for Better Podcasting, why not release it in the feed? As we do prioritize audio on the podcast, we feel it only fair to give you a heads-up that as we could not gain access to the room microphone source directly, audio from this panel is recorded via a camera. We hope you enjoy all of the fantastic questions asked by the attendees and the answers provided by the panelists.

In the Better Podcasting Download we demonstrate and discuss the 'advantage' you can get from using a mic processor (such as the DBX286s). We give you a sample of the change so you can gage if it's worth it to you. After that we discuss a recent list of Top 200 jobs in America, and where broadcast lands on it.

Better Podcasting’s first giveaway contest comes to a close and one lucky listener’s name is drawn from a GeekyLid to win the Audio Technica ATR2100. Will it be you? Listen to find out!

After the giveaway, the hosts tell that as Hobby Podcasters it’s all about time. Time to podcast, time for family, time for your “day-job,” and time for fun. This episode Stephen and SP discuss how they manage to do it all and more importantly what their limitations are. Planning is a key component to podcasting and time management is no exception. Also, they discuss ways to manage time-related stress while advocating time to decompress from podcasting and recommended way to do it without impacting your podcast workflow too much.

In this week’s Better Podcasting Download Stephen and SP talk about all the podcasting advice out there and what may be good advice and what might not be good advice including the fact that not every podcaster’s formula will work for you.

]]>Better Podcasting – Episode 018 – Time Management

Welcome to Better Podcasting! We talk about podcast tips, tools and best practices to help you succeed with your podcast! Just like you we podcast purely out of the love and the fun of it. Podcasting is our hobby and we love that it is yours too! We always encourage your questions and feedback and you can find all of our contact information at betterpodcasting.com.

Better Podcasting’s first giveaway contest comes to a close and one lucky listener’s name is drawn from a GeekyLid to win the Audio Technica ATR2100. Will it be you? Listen to find out!

After the giveaway, the hosts tell that as Hobby Podcasters it’s all about time. Time to podcast, time for family, time for your “day-job,” and time for fun. This episode Stephen and SP discuss how they manage to do it all and more importantly what their limitations are. Planning is a key component to podcasting and time management is no exception. Also, they discuss ways to manage time-related stress while advocating time to decompress from podcasting and recommended way to do it without impacting your podcast workflow too much.

Stephen and SP take this episode to run down how they are able to put together high level video productions on the hobby podcasts of Better Podcasting and GonnaGeek using multi sessions of Skype, overlays and the XSplit program. They break down the hardware required, some of the software options available, how they arrived at their solution that they are currently using, what are some of the ways to manage some of the pitfalls (i.e. digital drift and syncing both audio and video), and how to stitch it all together to get a great produced product while keeping it at a level that hopefully everyone can follow.

This week’s Better podcasting Download runs down the drop in NPR radio under 55 years old statistics and what it might mean for podcasting. SP also runs down why podcasting is better to listen to for him versus the radio.

In this week’s PodBack SP and Stephen run down some lengthy YouTube feedback from Brain Hurley on options for webhosting for your website, and some specifications to watch out for as you are choosing your webhosting company. Stephen recommends checking out WebHostingTalk while you are on your way to decide where you want to place your webhost, and SP strongly recommends grabbing your podcast domain and at least point it somewhere as you start your podcast journey.

Please remember that we're running our give away contest of a new Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB microphone. Listen for ways to enter.

SP also announces on Better Podcasting that six GonnaGeek.com network podcasters will converge on C2E2 (The Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo) on March 18th, 2016 in the Workshop Room at 2:45 PM to present a panel on Everyday Podcasting For Your Everyday Life.

It’s our first full episode and we talk about the first thing you need to do when considering starting a podcast – The Topic! We also introduce ourselves, tell our podcasting stories, talk about our love of podcasting and define ourselves as serious podcasting hobbyists. So what’s so important about the topic for a podcast?

A podcast topic will bound what you talk about on the show and how often you can or should podcast. Other considerations a topic will define is what you can do with your format, if co-hosts make sense, and the endless possibilities podcasting afford you.

We don’t focus about making money with your podcast but before you get started if you ever do plan to make money it’s time to start defining how that will work as well. Especially if you have cohosts. In writing. Yup, you got that right. In writing.

If you are new to podcasting or you are stepping out of your comfort zone and trying different cohosts or formats that you might not be familiar with expect your first few to be rougher until you get in the grove. Also expect your format to change over time – heck, even hit television shows do that!
